Though it first aired a decade ago, most people still remember Samm Levine quite clearly from the cult TV show, Freaks and Geeks (look back at the cast and writers and marvel at the talent). Since then he has worked steadily, both in television (the best episode of Entourage ever) and film (the hilarious and underrated Not Another Teen Movie.) This Friday, Samm appears as one of Brad Pitt's basterds in Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. LAist had a chance to speak with Samm recently about working on the film.

Does Stephen Daldry have the goods on a large majority of Academy Award voters? I mean seriously, how else does a fine, but limited movie like The Reader get nominated for an Oscar instead of more thrilling work like, say, The Wrestler? (I could say the same thing about The Hours a few years ago -- something is rotten here.) As a devout non-fan of Sin City, I was glad to see that the visually identical The Spirit died a quick critical and box-office death. I like comic book/graphic novel movies, but maybe it's time to take a break from it all. How is it that a relatively mediocre TV show like Wings featured four dynamite actors? Amazing.

With that pesky, couples-oriented, Hallmark holiday just around the corner we thought we'd help our readers get into the spirit with a fun little exercise we like to call, "Best Sex Scenes in Movies." It's certainly no secret that sex sells and the opportunist in us couldn't pass on the chance to plug it. After hours of exhaustive but thoroughly entertaining research, we compiled a list of the top ten scenes that fit our bill. From those that inspire the heart, to those that arouse the senses, we feel confident there will be something for everyone in our collection.

Yes, Keira Knightley has many detractors, but I think she's just fabulous. Period pieces like and be glad you have a normal, non-raping mommy.

The and wonder why James Taylor didn't become a famous actor.

There are plenty of ways to scare yourself silly this weekend in LA. If you're
too old or wary for trick-or-treating, then why not head to the local cineplex?
Here are five movies playing around town that range from frightening to fun.

• Doom - The Rock returns in this sci-fi/horror flick set in a futuristic Mars research facility. Predictably, the facility loses communication and is quarantined. The Marines discover the source of the trouble: the researchers opened a portal to hell. Rock and company battle with a slew of otherworldly demons and denizens. [ trailer | local showtimes ]
• Saw II - The sadistic serial killer "Jigsaw" is back. This time he makes eight victims play a sort of "reality" game to see who, if anyone, survives. The tagline is "oh yes, there will be blood." Consider yourselves warned. Surprisingly, squeaky-clean Beverly Mitchell makes an appearance in this flick, along with Tobin Bell, Franky G and Shawnee Smith. [ trailer | local showtimes ]
• The Fog - Tom Welling, Maggie Grace and Selma Blair star in a remake of John Carpenter's classic movie. Century-old ghosts roll in with a creepy layer of fog, wreaking havoc on the local Northern California town. [ trailer | local showtimes ]
